HALT, which stands for - Hungry Angry Lonely or Tired. We also like to include horny, drinking and sick to the mix but HHALTDS just doesn't have the same ring to it. This acronym is used often in addiciton recovery to encourage an addict to check in with themselves and see what is causing their urge to use. We also like to use it for relationship checkins AND actually halting and taking time to process. So once you've halted, now what do you do? On this episode, we talk about what it means to HALT, why you should HALT and what to do next. We've got some strategies for you to make the best of this HALT period. 

Questions to ask yourself:

What is hidden from me right now?

What else might they have going on? 

What else might I have going on? 

Am I trying to be right more than connect?

Could I focus more on connecting than competing?

Could pouring love or understanding into the situation right now help us better connect? (We are coming in short right now. Take some time if you want)

What would a more conscious version of me do right now? 

What do I love about this person?

What am I projecting onto this situation?

Am I triggered?

Is it actually related to them or to some experience in my own past?
